Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Silent Battles

There's nothing louder than silence,

Like gasping, drowning on air.

Tried looking around for guidance - 

No one really seemed to care.

 

To go about life unnoticed

Without so much a remark,

If only just for a moment

Beauty gets wasted in dark.

 

Take these words as you will have them

They never belonged to me.

Come follow my course in tandem,

It's the truth that will set you free.

 

Like a bullet through the head,

A flower, blooming, dead.
